The book that I chose was Cup of Gold by John Steinbeck. Choosing this book was fairly simple for me, I am not a very big reader, making it so I am not a quick one either. This called for a book on the shorter side so that I would be able to finish it in the allotted time period. Cup of gold is not a very long book so it was ideal, there were plenty of books for me to choose from with the criteria of short. There were two reasons that this one stood up above the others. One being that my mom recommended it, she reads all the time so I figured she would have a pretty good tastes in books. The second being that it is a story of pirates.
I have always really enjoyed pirate tales for a couple of reasons. I grew up near the water so any story that is on the water or about water makes me feel at home and comfortable. Making it so that I enjoy it more and get just a little bit more immersed in the story. Another reason is that I like the idea of pirates, spending time on the sea, messing around all the time, and best of all plundering for booty! I think it would be a pretty interesting life to be a stereotypical pirate and its fun to read about it and fuel my day dreams. The last reason is that I love sailing, my entire family is big on sailing but we don't get to do it very often so whenever I can get on a boat and sail around I have an amazing time.
